I got a record number of false-positives from Sniffer yesterday. The category was always "Scam Patterns". Two of them were from Yahoo! as well. Although the total was low (something like four FP's total), that is more in one day than I usually see in a month with Sniffer. There must have been some incredibly-badly written code that slipped though, as they were personal e-mails that should never have been tagged. Personal e-mails are really the only ones that I truly consider false positives. I get dozens of mailing list messages trapped each month, but I don't consider those a big deal. Customers rarely miss these. I very, very rarely see any truly personal e-mails get trapped by Sniffer though. Hopefully, they have already fixed the problem. I haven't seen any as of this afternoon.
